Summer is here!

6 June 2009

Plants a’poppin!

I can barely see my back pond for all the growth! The blue rush has exploded, the lilies are beginning to cover the surface, the zebra rush has taken off, and the parrots feather dominates the waterfall. You can hardly tell where the flower bed ends and the puddle begins.

Pond, what pond?

But the real treat is in the front pond, with exploding plantains:

Lily pads as big as my hands:

And the stars of the show, the lovely irises:

Next up, lilies – there are two buds that should bloom in the next couple of days.
